House, M.D. - Season One
Our TV DVD watching continued this week. Last week Scrubs, this week we watched the entire Series 1 of House M.D. House is a wonderful show, a new "take on the mystery genre, where the villain is a medical malady and the hero is an irreverent, controversial doctor who trusts no one, least of all his patients. Dr. Gregory House (Hugh Laurie) is devoid of bedside manner and wouldn't even talk to his patients if he could get away with it". We all really love the program. Dr House reminds me of Sherlock Holmes, all the way down to his pain killer addiction. Anyone else notice that? We had been following this in the local FTA network, but once I spotted it on Amazon, I just had to get it. God it's good to watch drama shows without the ads. Even better to have watched it all now. Bring on Series 2.... Oh, and what is it with all these hospital shows?? [listening to: Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads ]9:26:50 PM  comment [] trackback [] G!

Proud Geek Dad Moment
So, we're driving along the Hume Highway, on our way to Canberra. We have taken both our cars (Moira's CX90 and my A4 ), as we had some extra passengers on the trip. My mobile rings, and Billy answers. It's his brother Antony, who is in the other car. He tells Billy to turn on his Nintendo DS, so they can play against each other wirelessly from each car as we are travelling at 110km per hour. All the kids have a Nintendo DS, as well as a copy of Nintendogs, which has provided great holiday entertainment to the kids. It also made a geek dad really proud. Oh, by the way, the wireless worked really well. The DS supports 802.11 which means it has a a wireless range of 30 to 100 feet, or so they say. It works on the highway too. Maybe Nintendo should update their fact sheet, to include this. [listening to: (Nothing But) Flowers - Talking Heads ]9:09:27 PM comment [] trackback [] G!
